The Rapture Have Broken Up

As self-titled points out, the band did not announce their breakup, neglecting to make a public statement until a press release for Red Bull Music Academy's latest New York Takeover cited frontman Luke Jenner ("formerly of the Rapture") as one of the evening's guests.

Luke Jenner and Vito Roccoforte formed the Rapture in San Fransisco in the late 90's. The band released their first album, Mirror, in 1999 and moved through a roulette of bassists and keyboardists before bassist Matt Safer joined the band in 2001. The Rapture released a six song EP, Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks, later that year.
